Hiccups, burps, etc. My full signal: I feel tightness in the back of my throat, if I take a bite after that feeling I start burping. I also watch the clock when eating I try hard not to eat faster than 10 minutes and stop at 20 min even if there is food left on my plate.

It sounds like you may need more fills. I know it takes many people months to find that green zone. :)

I'm the same as you, 4.5cc's in a 10cc band and I'm about to my green zone tho, I get hiccups or at least hiccup once and then it's kind of like the back of my throat will constrict like if I take one more bite it will all come back up, almost like a burp sensation and then I know, better not take another bite. Like others have said above about 20 mins usually whether there is food left or not. You might want to order our very own Jean McMillan's book Bandwagon and read that, she addresses all sorts of band issues like fullness and signals to look for. You can scroll to the bottom of the page and find the advertisement to order. It's a great read and a wonderful book to have around to go back and reference to. I am 4 mos post op. Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
